    Martin J. Rojas - Ohio Death Row




    Facts of the Crime:

    On May 14, 1987, Rojas murdered his fellow church member, 28-year-old Rebecca Scott, in her Cincinnati apartment. Ms. Scott had devoted herself to weaning Rojas from drugs and alcohol, but she rejected his advances to be his girlfriend. Rojas hid outside Ms. Scott's apartment, dragged her by the hair inside the apartment when she arrived home and stabbed her twice in the back. After stabbing her in the back, Rojas raped Ms. Scott twice, stabbed her in the chest, stole $25 from her purse and left her to bleed to death after unsuccessfully trying to set the house on fire. Rojas confessed to police detectives from Denver, Colorado, police from Cheviot, Ohio, and a minister from the church he and Ms. Scott attended.
